Andrew Carnegie and Mr.. Blaine.

EpINBrEGH. July H. Mr.. Andrew
Carncgi- publishes letter in reference to
the failure Of Mr.. Blaine To obtain adj
mittance to the Council Chamber last Fri
day Oh the occasion Of the presentation of
the freedom of the city to the writer In
this Mr. Carnegie says; Il am myself to
blame for the accident Of the exclusion Of
Mr.. Blaine from the Council Chamber
had arranged with Mr. Blaine to accom-
pany him. on the way Miss Blaine met
with an accident which caused an injury TO
her ankle. She was compelled to return
and her father accompanied her back 10
her hotel. Mr.. Blaine was thus retarded
Instead Of Mr.. Blaine having any cause to
complain of inattentiOn on the part Of the
officials Of Edinburgh the interest the Lord
Provost and the public have manifested in
his movements and the universal desire to
see and hear him have much surprised him.
Accustomed a. he is TO all this wherever
he goes in his own land. he had not ex-
pected such a reception as lie is every
where accorded in Great Britain No
where have the attentions paid TO him
been more marked and gratifying than in
Edinburgh"

so superlative an illustration of the capac-

pressed enthusiasm and unfettered activi-
ties been confirmed by achievements 50
splendid and enduring. Partaking in fun

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE >loop Yacht
Mysterl with a pleasure party on board.
was capsized off Barren Island yesterday
and only IL out of 40 souls on board are
known to have been rescued The party
was composed chiefly of German families
residing in Brooklyn and Long Island CITY.
They had plentiful supply of beer on
board which was served around with a
free hand, 50 that large number showed
the effects of too much drinking. 1t is
claimed that the disaster j. partly due TO
the unskillful handling of the vessel by
Capt. HeRdricksen, who is said To have
been drunk. Many women and children
were among the number on board the ILL
fated Yacht.

Why the English Like Blaine.

Mr. Charles +. Coon, ex-assistant sec
Rotary Of the treasury, has just returned
to New York from London. He said that
he met Mr.. Blaine while in London and he
confirms the reports of the many eourtesies
extended 10 the distinguished statesman
The English, he says. consider Blaine the
greatest tAmerican statesman that ever
visited them, though they know that he is
by no means an admirer of all the English
government does, and that he never for
gets that he is an American. They admire
him for his traightforwardness and man
illness. Mr.. Coon says Mr.. Blaine is in
good health.

TINE IxFLUKScE OF TmE VATICAN.

The influence extended By the Holy
Bee In European politics is today GER
tainly ~ great IS ct any time within the
last quarter Of q century. There are
those who predicted that its power, after
the less Of the Church States and the
confinement Of ita secular Authority
within the walls of the Vatican. would
gradually deminish the weight of its In
faIlible usterines. This belief was
strengthened BY the results OF the hotly
wAeea Culfar Ksnpf in Germany dur
ing the years following 1874, when by
the so-oalled May Laws, the authority
Of the Church in Germany was severely
abridged. In FraRoe, too, the onslaught
mNde by the extreme Radicals upon
Catholic institutions throughout the
Republic was looked upon Is the first
movement Of q deliberately planned
wWfare against the Pope and bis pre-
negatives. Time has worked important
changes, however. The oppressive laws
IN Germany haye been modified or re-
pealed. and exiled bishops and priests
recalled. The inveterate foe Of the
Ohursh has asked lie bead 10 aEbitrate in
